As a professional weaver, I'm in a constant state of changing what's on the loom: planning a project, dyeing yarn for the project, warping the loom with that new yarn, weaving, finishing, and so on. Blogging is a way for me to share the process, and a way for me to keep track of what I did when.

Rose Season

It's that time of year. The climbing peach-pink rose in the courtyard is trying to take over the world, as it the bicolor orange/gold one next to it (in the shade, so the camera didn't want to get an accurate reading).

Up on the garden slope on the side of the house, the deep red roses have
been going crazy for a couple of weeks, and show no signs of slowing
down. The same can be said for the other hybrid tea roses.

Every few days, I bring in a different selection, and the fragrance is wonderful.

About Me

I am a professional weaver, specializing in complex weaves using fine threads. Most of my studio work consists of scarves, shawls, and wraps woven on a 48-inch, 24-shaft computer-assisted AVL dobby loom or wall art woven on a 48-inch, 1,440-heddle AVL jacquard loom. I exhibit and sell my work through high-end retail craft shows such as the Smithsonian Craft Show, the American Craft Council San Francisco show, and several smaller regional and local fine craft shows.
